    If you've had the rear window leak...

    I like my rear slider so much I wanted to keep it, so I did. I use it all the time here in CFL. When my window leaked I didn't have water on the headliner at all. Just dripped under the upper frame onto the top of the back seat and carpet back there. And when we had hurricane Milton come...

    If you've had the rear window leak...

    So after 2 back window replacements and the CHMSL being replaced I am finally leak free. My first one was leaking for years and eventually fried my RFM twice. First RFM was replaced under RAM warranty and second one under insurance claim. Window was replaced (Safelite) also and started...

    Ram Connect Plus vs Connect WiFi Plus

    Sorry didn't mean to hijack your question. I paid $10++ a month to AT&T for the vehicle wifi for around 3 years until I wised up because I rarely used it. I have a 55+ plan with T-Mobile that gives me 50 GB a month of hotspot which again I don't even get close to using even with my grandkids...

    Dead Batteries Finally Got Me

    Are these batteries still lead acid in the new trucks? If so the ones they are replacing them with are also LA. And will likely not last. You need to upgrade to glass mat batteries to get good battery performance over the long term IMO. Just my opinion and experience with my truck. I have...

    Ram Connect Plus vs Connect WiFi Plus

    100% agree. Anyone in your vehicle who wants to connect to the internet with their device without cell service can use the wifi hotspot on a phone. If you don't have that capability on your phone you aren't living in this century. Wifi provided by a vehicle is obsolete.

    2021 Start button not working. RF module failure??

    When my RF module failed due to water intrusion the first time, it also drained my battery. Not knowing it was the RFM that was failed, I replaced the battery but still no key fob recognition at all and when I tried to open the door using the key it set off my alarm which I could only stop by...

    Tire pressure TPMS woes - ugh

    I had one of mine stop reporting about 2 months ago. I decided to replace them all. I needed new rear tires so I took it to a Mom and Pop near me and they replaced the 2 rears for free just charged me $20 for each sensor and charged me $40 for each of the fronts including the sensors. He used...

    Ram Homelink signal strength very weak/short

    Realize that it might be your garage door opener receiver that is the issue. Just a possibility. I have had to replace my receiver boards in both my garage door openers over the last few years. I originally thought it was my transmitter but no.

    Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor failed today. What do you guys recommend?

    Replacing them all if one fails anywhere around 5 years or more is def the way to go.

    Leaking back window

    My insurance covered the failed hub and the carpet that had minor mold after hurricane Milton last October poured water through my leaky window that had been leaking since I got the vehicle new. Wouldn't cover the window itself because it wasn't damaged by the rainstorm. So I used the carpet...

    tpms issues

    The TPMS sensors have a battery. Therefore they only last so long. 5-10 years is what research will show you. My right front sensor stopped working about a month ago so I went ahead and had all 4 replaced at a local tire shop. Because I also bought 2 tires from them they charged only me $140...

    Found solution to "Shift to P" transmission disengagement and surge issue.

    So I have been struggling for at least a year with my truck having this issue. And it is so annoying. It would display something like "Shift to P" and go into neutral on its own but only when rounding a corner first thing in the morning. It also would surge when coming to a stop. Same thing...

    Headlights and Parking Lights

    This is very true. If you have your DRLs enabled in the Uconnect settings, some form of your headlights will always be on no matter the switch setting. Only way to get then to turn off is by disabling the DRLs. Looks like they didn't consider the military base requirements when they designed...

    Well, I need a new battery. Options and things to be aware of?

    Some of us are old enough to remember this jingle: When you're out of Schlitz you're out of beer!!!
